Immigrants power California’s economy and keep our state moving.

Indiscriminately targeting them is not only cruel but illegal, and Californians aren’t buying it.

Donald Trump is attempting to manufacture a crisis, politicize Americans who serve in uniform, and continue abusing his power to distract from the pain he's causing families.

We'll continue to follow the law, stand up for the sovereignty of our state, and protect Illinoisans.

Gerrymandering worries people. Americans are increasingly concerned, amidst these boldly self-serving efforts, that democracy is in danger.

And they’re right. But we can do something about it.

California will not look away from the election rigging orchestrated by Donald Trump.

If Texas or any state manipulates their maps to silence voters, we will act — because free and fair elections belong to the people, not a corrupt few willing to break the system to hold power.

It seems like the head of the Department of Homeland Security should know what habeas corpus is. Especially since it is a pillar of the Constitution, the WH Policy Director has said publicly that they may suspend it, and DHS will have to enforce that. bsky.app/profile/atru...
HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

Republicans in Congress could stop the impending calamity at any time. But they won't protect their constituents.

Trump's parasocial friends on Fox News could caution and warn him. But they are paid to invent and repeat lies.

Trump is the worst economic manager in the history of the US presidency. Only rivals are Andrew Jackson (for closing the Bank of the United States) and Herbert Hoover (for not reflating in 1931).
